The poster in question originally claimed the 3 Mpolys/s for the SGI
machine and has not commented on the source of that statement; see the
argument in the above referenced article for the real numbers from
SGI's literature.  The referred to claim above was originally 1 Mpolys/s
which another poster pointed out wasn't what IBM was quoting.
